I always play Tanooki Mario because I am very in touch with my inner child lol. I love to think of Mario parachuting around with his balls, even if thats not the animation they went with :D
Who do you play and why?
Waluigi because WALUIGI NUMBAH ONE MOTHERFUCKERS!!
Hello fellow Waluigi
oh hey Waluigi.
Waluigi master race. Also my ADHD nephew’s favourite.
lowkey the best mario character
agree
I was playing split screen online and we noticed someone was a lone waluigi so we both swapped to waluigi. By three races later the whole map was nothing but waluigi from everyone swapping over. If one or two people joined with their default character by the next race they were waluigi. Went on for a good 45 minutes before we had to drop.
Yoshi.
I like Yoshi.
If you’re picking to win, this is an excellent write-up: https://www.mayerowitz.io/blog/mario-meets-pareto
Wow, that’s a lot of work someone’s done
Wario, I’ma gonna winna!
But after 2024, Luigi became my favorite
how did that go?
I always play Shy Guy. He’s cute and his sounds are absolutely hilarious and never get annoying to me. And I’m also super shy, so it all works out.
Luigi. Growing up I usually played Nintendo games only on a friend’s console, and was usually player 2. As I got my own consoles and games, I stuck with him out of loyalty and because he has a longer jump in some games. :D
Shame they patched out the death stare though.
I’ll never forgive them for that, and neither will Luigi.
Dry Bones, because just like real life, if you call in DOA the boss will still want you to show up
Dry bones gang!
Toad in the karty
DK in the party
Daisy because she’s the fastest mid-weighter on a bike
Started off with Toad in the original.
With Double Dash I moved on to Paratroopa / Koopa Troopa.
And with 8 I moved onto Shy Guy.
For the in-between games, I kept the same as the previous entry. Even though he’s not a light racer like the others, I switched to Shy Guy because I like the noises he makes.
I still love double dash. Such fun even with people who didn’t know how to drive.
Still our number one favourite.
Both me and my wife had a Gamecube. For my stag weekend, I hired a country house in Scotland and took both, networked them together, hooked each up to a projector and we played Double Dash with 8 players at a time. It was loads of fun!
That sounds exactly like the weekend I’d love.
I have played with experts and here is what they were doing:
- forget Kong or Bowser, they can’t accelerate, and if you’re hit, you’re dead
- get one fast enough with a decent acceleration
- ALWAYS DRIFT ALL THE TIME, it takes time to learn but that’s what pros do
- don’t take shortcuts, they are actually longer than the regular road, and even with the boosts on the road, you can’t drift properly
Drifting seems to be secret.
As for myself, I play any character that is not too slow. Mario is fun I guess, or it’s the nostalgia kicking in since I played it on the NES when it came out.
Cow.
Because Cow.
Luigi

Yoshi, since OG MK.
Because when you get stopped by weapons fast acceleration helps.
I did try out dry bowser as well for a while. I thought it might have been the key to beating 200cc.
I finished it with Yoshi.
EDIT: this is MK8 btw. I aint made of cash to buy MKW
OG Yoshi gang rise
I will say one thing- it ain’t like riding a bike. I can’t power slide in OG SNES Kart like i used to!
I can’t power slide in OG SNES Kart like i used to!
I can’t tell if it’s really easy or if I never could. Don’t make me set it all up to try, I got shit to do because I’m old and have too many responsibilities.
I like King Boo.
